Supported through Western's SSHRC Institutional Grant (SIG) and Western Strategic Support (WSS), the objective of the Faculty Research Development Fund (FRDF) is to strengthen only SSHRC related research.

Funding for the Federal Fiscal Year April 2013 to March 2014

Application Details:

Faculties will be responsible for administering the distribution of their annual allocations, through their own competitive process, within the FRDF guidelines and Western's regulations. Researchers must submit a ROLA Proposal (with a detailed and complete budget) under the correct internal FRDF competition, in order to apply for funds. ROLA submissions to the incorrect competition (or with incomplete budgets) will be returned to the PI to modify. For assistance, the PI may contact the ROLA Help Desk at rolahelp@uwo.ca.

NOTE: All Letters of Intent and Full Applications must be processed through Research Development & Services for institutional approval. Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. A ROLA Proposal (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean electronic approvals) is required for each submission.
